Here's a page that gives info about athletes foot as well as natural and home remedies for athletes foot that also work for ringworm and jock itch, which are very closely related. http://www.best-mens-skin-care.com/j...me-remedy.html

There are several types of canned spray liquid - not the powder - although that may help too.
The spray stops the itch almost instantly, and cures the infection, but it is where he hangs out that he is getting it from....advise him to spray there with clorox spray, or wash it down with clorox and soap solution.

I had the guys soak their feet in epsom salts, dry them thoroughly and then use Dr Scholls foot spray for athletes foot, and then clean socks. Respray and change socks in the morning and afternoon too. Once it was under control, they only had to use the spray in the mornings.
I bleached their socks to help kill the fungus too.
We also got boot dryers, used them for their shoes every night. When the weather was nice, I set their shoes out in the sun to air and dry them out too. Loosen up the laces and open them up as much as possible. :D:D:D

Keep them dry, use tea tree oil, and NO sugar or simple carbs - it just feeds it!!

Paint iodine on the feet until it is gone. Then keep feet clean and dry. It won't come back.

Just tell him to stop exercising.

my foot doctor and his nurse says that vick's salve works great for that and for nail fungus. I use the tinactin (made for athelete's foot) for really bad diaper rash. My 24 year olds ped doc told me that and I've used ever since. It's especially good when they are red and sore; it takes the red out normally on the first diaper change.

I've noticed that alot of things clear up when we go to the beach. I'll try it and I know the vinegar works great. I had an awful case one summer. What we call here in the south "scald". All the skin peels off your feet and they are bright red. Some kind of fungus, probably steel toe boots and working outside in the heat all day doesn't help either.
